Mourinho reacts, Benfica boss praised: he’s a real asset | OneFootball

Since taking over as the technical director of Benfica, he has received constant praise from various personalities in Portuguese football. Most recently, the helmsman of the eagles was a topic of conversation for Roberto Martínez, the national coach, during today, October 3, at Football City.

After announcing that António Silva is one of the chosen ones for the call-ups, the Spaniard addressed the return of the Special One to Portugal: "For me this is not an issue. Mister Mourinho is an asset to Portuguese football, in three seasons I have never talked about internal club situations".

Next, Roberto Martínez recalled that both are working towards the same goal, that is, to elevate national sport: "We are on the same side of the barricade, working for the development of Portuguese football. The noise from outside is for you, the focus is the present".

Focused on the next commitments of the team of the quinas, which will face the Republic of Ireland and, later, Hungary, the Spaniard set the goal for this international break: "We had 12 consecutive wins, it had never happened before. We want victory 13 and 14".

Finally, the national coach explained that with his experience, he already knows what he has to do in sport, revealing what his only goal is at this stage of his career: "I have been in football for many years, I understand, but I don't talk about the future. My commitment is total, to fight and continue with victories"
